Not a crawler, but this is my current project... a work in progress. The TIG had been sitting idle for too long.     |

Are people mostly brazing these, or welding them? Or is it just preference? I`m in the planning stages of starting on a chassis build myself, so I`m curious. -Jake |

Just brazing here. I would be playing with a welder though if I had one.

How does the brazing hold up if you drive it like you stole it? Seriously, not bashing with 10 feet of air but through anything really rough at speed that may want to break your car apart? The aluminum car i am building is a pain because I have had to work harden it after welding. It has proven worthy of the beating as has the steel car. On a side note, I found a place that has a bunch of 1/4" dom tubing remnant that I may scoop up for a future build for .69 a lb. May mix tubing and rod, steel, on the next rig.

Mine isn't meant to go fast, but it has rolled down a 10' rock embankment and nothing broke loose, and I've been using the rollcage as a carrying handle.
